​What is iKokua?iKokua’s mission is to transform the way people think about donating and effecting positive change in the world. We believe there are many opportunities for giving in our everyday lives. iKokua is committed to advancing personal philanthropy through its online platform, where goods are sold and the profits donated to charity. Through this convergence of community and technology, we achieve our deep commitment to helping others.

How iKokua work's in a nutshell:

Sellers post tangible goods on iKokua.com to be sold in a virtual auction, choosing a local nonprofit to benefit from the sale.

Buyers browse, shop and make purchases in this online environment.

After the auction, sellers and buyers make arrangements between themselves to convey items purchased. Items that don’t sell remain with sellers, or can be reposted later. iKokua emails sellers verification of their donations (considered in-kind) for IRS tax deductions.

Nonprofits benefit at no cost to themselves. iKokua forwards 95 percent of sale proceeds to them, while keeping just 5 percent for handling and processing.
